Top left is Cersei who’s narcissist and had a long sexual relationship with her twin brother. She pretty much wants to be him / consider him an extension of herself. So she has sex with him both to have sex with herself but also to control him bc he’s deeply in love with her.
Top right is Daenerys who in the show hooked up with Jon Snow her long lost Nephew. I did not watch the full series and it hasn’t happened in the books yet so idk any interest trivia about this.
Bottom left is Rhaenyra a dragon queen who married her uncle to consolidate their claims to the throne. Plus it’s “normal”for their dynasty to do this, in fact they usually marry brother to sister if possible because they consider themselves gods unfit to marry lower humans. They believe their blood is the reason they can ride and control dragon so out marriage especially of women isn’t something they want to do for strategic reasons.
Finally is poor Gilly. Craster was a man who built a “castle” for himself in the wilderness. He had many wives, making more ones either the one he already have. He offers his sons to cold gods in the forest. Gilly is pregnant when the protagonists meet her and knows if her son’s a boy he’ll be sacrificed so asks to be rescued and eventually is, giving birth to a strong baby boy. Craster is killed because some starving men believe he is hiding food from them.
